The way I feel is that some noises that used to not bother me are bothering me. high pitched sink noises with dishes, car doors closing. children talking loud. Frequently high pitch. It makes me scared and anxious. no itching or burning. Sometimes I feel a light pain in my ear and the side of...

@GSC I have no idea. I'm new. I'm in need of support. I don't want to be afraid to turn on the AC. I don't want to be afraid to take a shower. I am hoping people have experienced what I'm experiencing and can talk me through the worry.

Could someone else jump into this thread instead? I feel like a jerk but I had to click ignore because he just spreads sourness and fear when I think it’s clear I’m looking for the exact opposite.

I have a good ENT appointment soon. Can any of you guys offer some pointers or tips or point me toward some good resources? For example, I am suddenly being hit by the fear that in a few weeks I’ll have to sleep with the AC on. It’s next to my bed and lowish pitched, so it probably won’t be...

What treatment are you getting?

@Bill Bauer @PDodge Thoughts?

WEIRD DEVELOPMENT! I was sitting in the tub, facing the wall. I had a long day with stress, not enough water, driving, some noise. I realize that when I tilt my head, whichever ear is facing the ceiling hears slightly louder low fuzzz. What is up with that? I don’t think I’m making that up...

I think it’s only present with ear plugs in. But sometimes late at night I think I hear it. I don’t have vertigo. I think? I’d know it, right? I also don’t have high blood pressure but I get stressed a lot. Maybe just avoid stress? What is pulsatile tinnitus versus other kinds? It’s not...

My tinnitus started out as a high pitch in my right ear. Since then I’ve driven and flown but taken precautions and used earplugs and things have been okay. Stressful days are worse and light days are better. I fished for a few hours on a windy dock. I’ve used noise canceling headphones with...

I think bam said something like take the drugs—- I’m assuming he was referring to use my anti anxiety meds?

I just did a bunch of search on prednisone and it seems like half the people say it did nothing and the other half the people say it might do nothing so everyone chill

Fuck. Hi? Everyone? Help? I don't. I am freaking out. Nothing I looked into pointed tot hat? I... I don't know. I went to the ENT and the audiogram showed no hearing loss. They then recommended me for the better, Tinnitus ENT but that was going to take more time. Please help

I have an appointment with an ENT who specializes in tinnitus. I won't get to see him for about two weeks, which is to say one month after the onset of my tinnitus. Is that too late? Or is this a good schedule? Guys and gals, please keep in mind that I'm really anxious. I ask you to share what...

Today I did a few things — I ate chocolates with a lot of sugar alcohol which caused me to spend a bunch of time in the bathroom, so I ran out of liquids and salts. I'm refilling on both now. I also drove for a bit with earplugs in and maybe 15 minutes with earplugs not in. I also hung out in a...

I got tinnitus, and it spiked because I used some power tools. And it hasn’t gone down back to baseline yet. Will people tell me some positive stuff? I’m always anxious and afraid.
